After spending painstaking hours and months to complete your latest renovation project, does it still seem like it is lacking?
Rugs, artwork, collectibles, pillows, mirrors are some of the key elements that will bring your beautifully finished space to life.
Additionally these finishing touches can also revive a space. With accessories your space can be transformed and used as somewhat as a disguise from its flaws. Adding accessories is like adding the makeup and jewelry to a space and highlights its key areas.
Be sure to visit McCalls Carpet One in Franklin for all of your tile, carpet and hardwood needs. Not only do they sell these items in their showroom, they install it as well. McCalls Carpet One is located next to The Factory on Franklin Road.
Color – add color, a monochromatic space will lack personality, incorporate muted tones that work together or chose 2 bolder colors and distribute them across your space with accessories. Place these colors in varying accents like pillows, blankets, vases, & artwork. Ideally you draw these colors from a key piece in the space which could be an accent fabric, area rug, piece of art.
Scale – When selecting accents ensure you use varying sizes. Groupings are often most successful when combining 3 different heights , widths of objects together. If you want to make a statement, add one or two large items to your space that will draw attention to them. A large painting on canvas would make an impact on a large wall. Pull out some of the colors in that painting for your accessories to distribute across the room.
Texture- Add depth and dimension to your space by combining various textures. Keeping in your color scheme, combine items that are rough, polished, woven and silky. This adds interest without the need to add a lot of color.
Contrast – Create a dynamic space by adding contrast. The key to create contrast is selecting a few key pieces that stand out against the neutral backdrop of the rest of the space. Possibly you have a fireplace clad with a dark stone or slab; distribute the same dark tone found in the fireplace material across the room in a few key areas to unite the furnishings with the fireplace.
Embrace change, as we are constantly evolving, don’t assume your décor shouldn’t. Once you have found a few key accents that add personality to your space don’t be afraid to experiment by repositioning these items in your space for a fresh new look.
